Hi!
Im am going Oz next week! whooppee! Anyway im going over on fiance's sponsored VISA. He went last week. No problems with his company adding me to his visa application which they dealt with. Problem was proving we had lived together for a least 12 months - which is what DIAC ask for, things like joint accounts, bills etc all count tho so if you have them together your fine. Time wise it took approx 8-10 wks from start to finish, that included us getting all relevant paperwork together and me going for medical which as im a nurse took up about 3 wks of that waiting time. Otherwise no problems - the waiting to see if the visa has been granted tho is a nightmare!! Hope this helps, if u need any other info let me know
